In the world of stand up paddleboard racing, there are sprint, circuit, and long distance races. Each requires a different set of strengths and skills. Sprints require raw power, circuit races demand paddling skill, while distance races necessitate both aerobic and anaerobic endurance. So I've been wondering, hasn't there been a race weekend that involves all three? A race series that awards points based on race placing and acknowledges the 'best' overall paddlers.
Sprint and circuit racing are both incredibly spectator friendly and would fare well in a waterfront-based city, perhaps one with a marina. I've never organized a race, but now that I think of it, Olympia seems like the perfect place for an omnium weekend. Between Portland and Seattle, two stand up racing hotbeds, and right off of I-5, maybe there is room for an omnium.
